HN discussionI took the comment[1] on the analog sticks to be referring to the game controller pictured directly above: https://suanto.com/assets/2024/03/the-ROV-controller.jpg I'm guessing that the range of resistance values over the full swept range of the sticks was small, and so getting precise enough values/smooth enough change out of it wasn't possible. (Assuming these things basically have X and Y potentiometers for each…
